Ruger - Gun Owner: Call to Action

I periodically recieve emails from Ruger about firearm legislation, and how to contact my representatives to voice my opinion. They even draft a letter for you to sign. I do believe you are able to edit the letter to suit your opinion, though I seldom do as they usually have a message that I fully agree with. I find it a very convenient way to contact all my representatives in one fell swoop. Heres a link to the latest firearm rights advocacy action Ruger has prepared,

I am saddened by the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut, but I believe that efforts to impose new restrictions on me and other lawful and responsible owners like me are misguided. Did you know that violent crime with firearms has declined since the Federal "assault weapons ban" expired in 2004?

Your focus should be on strengthening mental health care and improving the quality of data supporting NICS checks (National Instant Criminal Background Check System). Do NOT pass more gun laws; instead, work to enforce the more than 20,000 gun laws already on the books.

I am your constituent and I vote. Please represent me.

Sincerely, (Your Name)

I've owned several Rugers, I've enjoyed them all. Ruger is a good company, making a great product right here in America.

BRG:Ive shot a few Rugers, not on the level of Kimber or other high end makers but they are still very very good, esp for the asking price.

Oh, theyre definately not on the same quality level of "custom" firearm manufacturers, but they do represent a solid value. Ruger and H&K are my favorite firearm companies, I've owned many of both.

BRG:Sadly thats one of the guns that Obama wants to outlaw.I love the Mini-14, with the 20round magazine it makes a wonderful home defense and sport gun.

Really?

I havent read anything about the proposed bans, but how could they possibly make the Ruger Mini illegal? Are they proposing to ban all semi-auto rifles? I could see them trying to ban rifles with detachable magazines, but even then the Mini could easily be modified by Ruger to a trap-door configuration.

I had a Mini-Thirty at one time, it was a fun rifle. Prices have doubled since I owned it. Kinda wish I had kept it now!

I've heard that before. The Army has never been happy with the gun, for a number of reasons, but for some other reason they, and every other military worth a darn, keep using them.

I have also heard a number of stories from some friends in the Corps that while they aren't crazy about them, they work, and always work.
